Dragon DRF70346 German Wehrmacht-Heer Infantry Landser, Army Group South, Ukraine, 1943 - "Christoph Arndt" (1:6 Scale)"The German soldier is to be tough as leather, fleet as a greyhound, and hard as Krupp steel."- Adolf Hitler discussing the creation of the new German soldat

The Wehrmacht (literally "defense force") was the name of the unified armed forces of Germany from 1935 to 1945. It consisted of the Wehrmacht Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force). The Waffen-SS, an initially small paramilitary section of Heinrich Himmler's Allgemeine SS that grew to nearly a million strong during World War II, was not officially part of the Wehrmacht, but subject to OKW, OKH, as well as Field Command. Thus, the Waffen-SS was, de facto, a fourth branch of the Wehrmacht.
